included in the festivities.

Veterans Bridge, also known as the Amherst Avenue Bridge, crosses Old
Keene Mill Road and links both sides of Springfield’s commercial
revitalization area. It was redesigned as part of the Springfield
Mixing Bowl reconstruction and made more pedestrian-friendly
with wide sidewalks and attractive lighting. For more information, call
